I really like the colour of common blues and actually prefer them to their more famous cousins, the adonis. I can't choose between my favourite pics ... so won't.
Earlier in the year I met UK Butterflies member Pauline at Botany Bay and had a lovely day. She was an excellent host and showed me around. We went to see wood whites but I really liked the photos I took of this pair (and their little friend).
I'm also going to add a common blue from the trip to Portland. It was a great day even though I never did see the little owls in the quarry (but we (Philzoid, Seth, Sami and myself) did see the peregrins!).
In September I went up to Kithurst Hill and took this pic, which is probably my last wild butterfly photograph of this year I expect.
